Unfortunately I think the baby boomers have had a hand in most of those issues or were too naive to know that they are problems. For example, seniors are against medicare reductions and don't want universal health care. This viewpoint has c

Yea the simplicity is really great. There is a ton of content getting displayed all at once, but it doesn't seem cluttered. You can easily browse all the information and be delighted at the same time.

congrats on catching that bug. I use sqlite for a ton of stuff. I just used it at work a few days ago. It has so many use cases where you need a lite query language and not an rdbms.

I don't think anyone really knows what they are going to do 20 or 25 years into the future. I like coding and expect to code for a while. But, I understand that I have also changed a lot since I was pulled out of the womb 26 years ago.

I still am not a fan of apple and it's views on software patents. I also don't consider Steve Jobs to be a personal hero of mine. A lot of us don't like to say anything when apple or some blogger puts up a tribute to Jobs. It isn't because

Yea, living in a van is a non starter for long term relationships. That was what I meant by single, someone not interested in long term relationships. Probably not the actual definition of single though.

I heard other people calling this lower class tourism, that doesn't really seem to be the case though. It seems like a perfectly reasonable way to live for a single guy w/ a day job or someone trying to build a company. I'm not single, but

Mobile dev being too hard for PHP devs is a naive idea. I think php is kind of a historic language, not many people would choose to use it if they weren't forced. There are obviously a lot of bad design decisions that went into the language

Abstaining from sugar, tobacco, alcohol, or marijuana seems kind of silly to me. I know that the culture on HN is to try to empower people to be supermen and do extraordinary things. But, when I think of the dedication required to abstain f

This all seems a little too hard to believe. I'm not really confident that the CEO has been smoking pot and drinking beer in Tahoe and Hawaii for the past two months. When software companies start to fail, the engineers know it. I wouldn't

Don't quite get what his beef is with Windows 8. It doesn't really seem to be "openness" issues like he is saying. If that were the case why would he have ported his code to Xbox (another closed microsoft platform). If he doesn't like the M

I'd rather get a message from someone than a cupcake with no personal message any day of the week. When I was a child and I cared more about material objects that the people around me and whether or not they care for me, I would have picked

Basically all of modern biology is based on evolution. If you don't understand or believe in evolution, then you don't understand biology. I don't think it's ok for kids not to have a basic science education. Additionally, you draw a false

What is substantially different from GO besides performance. It just always seemed like another boring OO language that is fast. I've not really been impressed with the programming languages created at google. None of them seem to be very i

Definately agree. I think a good alternative is something I used at my old job (when I wasn't required to run a clunky ide). Just use tmux for window management. Use vim for your ide. Use the shell for interacting w/ the OS and automating t

Guess the world record thus far is, 8.429 ghz. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4770/amd-sets-world-overclocki... Doesn't really seem practical to run a datacenter using the methods in the video however. But, it's still possible.

Yea, that's the problem. I was hoping that the iphone would be a clear winner in the SIII v iphone competition. That doesn't seem to be the case. SIII basically is a little better on all the technical details. And then you have the differen

I guess I'm not really talking about a paradigm shift. I'm just talking about cool features. For instance, I would consider Siri a cool feature. Even though it isn't really anything new and on Ice Cream Sandwich you're basically getting the

I'm not really impressed with the new phone. It seems like Apple will need to come up with more cool features if they want people to keep buying iphones. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the Galaxy SIII or the iphone 5 at this point. I need

That is one aspect, but not the only one. When you start to write complex software you realize that the language, frameworks, libraries, design patterns, etc impact the maintainability of your code.

I think most marketers are supposed to have some technical experience if you are looking for a job in SV. I notice people saying being a growth hacker is like being a marketer but more technical. Most marketing job positions require at leas

I don't really have the experience to comment on this issue, but I did try looking at another monad tutorial in Clojure several months ago. I think I kind of got the idea behind monads, but I always thought so what. I have no experience wit

It would have been funnier if he took a few jabs at facebook. Good satire sometimes mixes actual insults with the satire. I don't know anything about the author, but this reads like something written by a third rate facebook recruiter.

I have beliefs that hold me back as well. The problem I have is that using the "hacks" in this article goes against one of these beliefs. I don't really believe in changing your beliefs by simply talking into a mirror. I do agree with the p

I don't see what is bad about having religious or cult like feelings around a tool. This sort of thing already exists for various programming languages. There wouldn't be any of the advancements we consider standard today in most high level

Yea, tabs are a very useful feature in vim that many people don't seem to use. I know people that use the panes. This isn't really useful for me though. I use tmux as my window manager for my terminal, so I have not use for panes in vim. I

This is a nice ideal to have. Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of working with the architect the OP described. I would say the ones I've dealt with have had some combination of: arrogance, stupidity, lack of technical knowledge,

This site seems kind of bizarre. The kind of people that buy apple products usually don't know or care about upgrading them or fixing them themselves.
